CARING FOR YOUR FURNITURE

It is a unique quality of wooden furniture that it changes over time depending on the conditions it is kept in. We recommend the following steps are taken to enhance the life of your furniture

• All natural timbers will mellow and change colour over a period of time when subjected to direct or indirect sunlight.
• To prevent permanent shading ornaments, lamps and other items should be moved around from time to time.
• Try to avoid placing your furniture in positions that are unusually hot or damp and position it as far away as possible from radiators and other direct heat sources.
• New furniture may initially vary in shade from items which have been previously purchased.
• Dining tables should be left extended for the first few months to prevent uneven shading of the leaves.
• Liquids spilt on polished or hide surfaces should be wiped off straight away.
• To protect against heat, hot cups and plates should not be placed directly on polished or hide surfaces and table mats and coasters should be used.
• Use a protective mat when writing to prevent scratches and marking on the furniture surface.
• Clean hide surfaces with warm water and soap. A good quality leather cream will keep leather supple.
• Call in a professional polisher to remove serious scratches and stains.
• In the event of more serious accidental damage consult your retailer about returning the pieces to us for repair.
